A Mini Lesson and a mini Wow!

Sometimes it's good to be reminded of facts you already know to be true. Such as only calling the drs office AFTER one has gotten ready for the day. Hmmmm. I think it was 8:05 am when I called for some meds for Kat, thinking that they would call in a RX for us, since we had 2 cases of strep last week. WRONG!!! They wanted to see her in at 8:40, Em was still in bed. Amazingly we were rolling down our street at 8:31 after a quick shower, blowdry, makeup and clothes. We got there at 8:42 and waited in the waiting room for 1/2 an hour. Thankfully Kat was really sick, it's such a bummer to take a well kid to the dr. As we were waiting for the strep test to come back, Em said, "I hope you have strep, Kai (her nickname for Kat) so you can stay home and play with me." Em got her wish. Kat is good at vegging on the couch either with her Harry Potter book or the remote. She will prob stay home tomorrow and be ready to play ball on Sat.

The big event of the weekend is the baby shower for a young lady at church on Sat. Alissa is the daughter of my local, Indep friend, Donna who is also Mark's twin sister of another mother. (Mark and Donna were both born on Aug 15, 1958). Anyway the shower is at the Patek's house. Freddie Patek is a former shortstop for the Royals. I have been to their house once before and couldn't get enough of Freddie's amazing collection of baseball awards, pictures, trophies, etc. It's so COOL!!! Their house is beautiful too, so it will be a lovely place to honor Alissa and her baby Ava, due next month. (Side note: Mark performed the wedding for the oldest daughter last summer, and will perform the 3rd daughter's wedding this July---I am learning TONS about weddings from Donna---did you know that you can get brand-new wedding dresses on e-bay for less than $50? Amazing!!!

Mark is reading out of the grim Grimm's Fairy Tale book. Must go listen!!
